element.style {
position: absolute;
display: block;
height: 290px;
width: 214px;
top: 9px;
left: 539px;
}

There is no problem and the code will work fine in all browsers.

It is likely that you were expecting something else to happen or you have other rules conflicting with the above.:slight_smile:

You’ll have to provide more information and code and explain what you expected to happen or what is happening in chrome that you think is wrong.

Paul’s being polite… I lack an internal censor…

  1. CSS without the markup it’s applied to and the layout it’s inside is gibberish. This falls into the “and this is why we can’t help you” category.

  2. Position:absolute elements are INHERENTLY display:block, so there’s no need to say that again in your code.

  3. Define “doesn’t work”?
